Gold ceiling in the Hall of the Ambassadors

Royal Alcazar of Seville - Real Alcázar de Sevilla

 

According to its Wiki entry.....

The Ambassadors Hall is the ancient throne room built during the reign of Al-Mu'tamid in the C11th. In the C14th, Pedro I of Castile remodelled the hall to make it a centrepiece of his royal palace. Plant motifs in plasterwork were added in the corners of the room and spandrels of the arches. Windows were traced with geometric elements. Walls were covered with tiled panels. The orientation of the hall was also changed from facing Mecca to north-east.
